Bluetooth Mouse not working in Windows 7?

Just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on an iMac i5 with 20Gb

Everything installed correctly and W7 boots fine, even did the drivers for bootcamp before the full Windows install

Thing is I have the Apple slim Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Mouse (that come with the iMac) it seems that the Mouse just will not respond??

The keyboard is working?? on Bluetooth but not the mouse and as i dont have a corded one to hand i am trying to navigate the whole Windows with my keyboard!!

please help how do i get Windows to see my Apple Mouse under bootcamp??

my exp is that my magic trackpad unlike in osx require ment to click it before it turn on and begin to respond to touch

but my bluetooth razer mouse don't work with blutooth so I connect it by usb which it also support could be that windows don't care for 2 bluetooth "mouse" input devices at the same time

I have turned on the Bluetooth mouse etc and clicked it, and still nothing

The keyboard bluetooth seems to work in Bootcamp?

I dont have a corded mouse to try, or a track pad as im on the iMac

Yes although as im new to Windows 7, could you just confirm i'm doing it right? as i have to do it via keyboard arrows!! (no mouse remember)

I am thinking its in Device manager?

it can be found in the taskbar under "show hidden icons" next or near to the volume control.

I don't know I use a wired mouse because unlike my magic trackpad which does work with bluetooth in windows

my razer both usb and bluetooth supporting mouse only work with usb in windows but work with both in osx

so it's likely a limitation of the bluetooth windows driver
